The Dark Thrall Mating Olivia

Chapter Twenty

Sid

Landing at the packhouse, my claws sank into the soft dirt of the clearing. Twigs and grass crunched beneath my feet as I tucked my bat-like wings around my body. The sound of bones cracking and popping filled the air as I shifted back into my human form.

Flying tonight had been just what I needed. My dragon felt less anxious to go to Everly and Micheal, less driven to join them and be a part of what they were doing.

I wouldn't take this time away from Everly, though. She had waited so long to find her fated mate and I had seen the excitement she felt when she realized who it was. I'd always known that she had a crush on our alpha. Hell, anyone with eyes would have been able to see it. Or maybe it was the fact that I was always in tune with Everly's wants and needs that I had seen it so clearly. The way that she had watched him during training sessions when we were younger. How her eyes would light up when he would praise her when she got a difficult move right. I would have been jealous if she and I hadn't already been fucking but that helped ease the sting of everything.

I always knew I would have to share her. I just didn't know it would be with our alpha.

Rolling my shoulders, I made my way across the lawn and up to the big wrap-around porch. The wooden steps creaked beneath my feet as I jogged up them. This wasn't my first visit to the packhouse, but being here tonight felt different.

I wasn't just here as a part of Micheal's pack, but I was here to meet my mate's other mate. Just thinking about it made me grin. To know that she had found her fated mate made me happy. It meant that I would be able to claim her soon, that eventually the three of us would end up together.

Dragons always shared and I was lucky enough for Everly to end up fated with someone who had grown up watching what that sharing could be like. Micheal had grown up in a family much like Everly's family where his parents were all together. There would be no need to explain anything to him because he already knew.

Goddess, his sisters were dragons. They were already out there, mated with thralls of their owns. He knew how all of this worked and the benefits. There would always be someone to look after our mate.

Not that she needed it. Everly and I had trained together on the mats and she could hold her own. But it was still a good feeling to know that she had Micheal and me. That we would always have her back and each other's.

I walked into the packhouse, making my way past the big set of stairs in the foyer. My pace quickened as I reached the hallway beside the main entrance. There was a metal shelf tucked away in a nook that almost hid it out of sight. It was lined with baskets of clothing filled with shorts, shirts, and sweats in various sizes.

Reaching out, I grabbed one of the dark wicker baskets and dug through the clothes until I found a pair of gray sweatpants in my size. I pulled them out of the basket and tucked it away. Slipping them on quickly before I headed back towards the foyer.

Shifters didn't mind being naked but those that had human mates preferred it if we didn't run around naked. So clothing had been stashed throughout the packhouse to make it easier on all of us.

I took the steps at a jog, passing a few of my packmates as I made my way up the stairs. The section that was reserved for the alpha was on the top floor.

Micheal's parents had lived up there until they had retired out onto the edge of the packlands. Letting their son take over the pack without Drake or Eli trying to help him.

It was always strange when they came into the house. Sometime throughout the years, his mother had stopped aging. I had a feeling it was because of her demon and not her vampire mate, Owen. She liked to go on morning runs and I had seen her in the sunlight plenty of times to know that she hadn't been turned.

Drake and Eli had stopped aging, too. Even though Sam had played it off like he didn't like them, it was clear he wasn't planning to let them go.

As I drew near, an older man with shaggy green hair stopped me. "I wouldn't go up there if I were you. I heard the alpha teleported in with his mate."

"Thanks, man. He called me up." I dipped my head in thanks as he stepped back, letting me clear the final set of stairs.

I stopped on the alpha's floor, my bare feet sinking into the plush dark green carpet that lined the hallway. The walls were paneled with a rich dark wood with the top part painted a soft cream. Lights helped guide the way from smooth round wall sconces. Everly's scent hung heavy in the air, mixing with Micheal's own musky smell.

The two scents were rich and coiled together, making my mouth water in anticipation. I wasn't going to act on it. They needed their time together before I joined them. If Micheal was anything like me, he'd be soaking in his time with Everly. Savoring it like the sweetest wine, letting it make him drunk until she made him dizzy.

I stopped in front of his door, resting my hand against the smooth surface. Sucking in a deep breath, I tried to calm my racing heart. But the scent of their coupling was too strong, too alluring. My dragon was ripping at my skin with the need to join them, to be a part of their ecstasy, to feel the rush of their passion more than I felt it tonight.

Knocking on the door, I held my breath as Micheal called out to me. "Come in, Sid."

I twisted the doorknob and pushed open the door. Walking into his room, I closed the door behind me. Listening to the soft click as it latched back into place. I leaned back, resting my back against the door so that I could look at both of them. The sight of him and Everly in the queen- sized bed stirred something inside of me. My dragon liked seeing the two of them together. Everly was sleeping and her face looked tired, her lips were red and swollen from kissing Micheal. A part of me wished she were awake so she could tell me about everything that had happened. The way my dick twitched to life at the thought of her breathlessly telling me everything, that let me know it was better that she was asleep. Because I would want to join them, I still wanted to join them.

"You should have some water ready for when she wakes."

"I'll take care of her." Micheal said softly, pulling my attention away from Everly. His pupils grew into thin slits and flickered back and forth between his normal blue and the silver of his demon. "I know you will." I smirked at him, pushing away from the door and making my way deeper into the room.

"You should have a seat. I think we have some things we need to talk about that would be better said in person... Boyfriend in law." Micheal said, reaching over and turning on a small light that sat on his bedside table before motioning to a recliner that sat in the corner of the room.
